Porter pilots begin training with new CAE, Embraer training flight simulator

Porter and Embraer CAE Training Services announced the expansion of the airline’s pilot training operations with the deployment of an Embraer E195-E2 full-flight simulator at CAE’s Montreal training center. Training began in May supported by ECTS, a joint venture between Embraer (ERJ) and CAE (CAE). The latest generation 7000XR Series FFS, equipped with the advanced CAE Prodigy visual system, was developed and manufactured by CAE in Montreal. This strategic deployment will enable more Porter pilots to train closer to home. Comprehensive initial and recurrent training for E2 pilots will be delivered in Montreal.
